Sweet Ethan

The day of Ethan's 8th birthday he told Nathan this,
"Dad do you know what the best day of my life was?"
Nathan said no what?
"The day I was born and I opened my eyes and saw my parents for the first time."


God has blessed us with the most loving and kind child and I am beyond thankful.

Defy Gravity

 We finally made it to Defy Gravity and boy was it a blast!  Trampolines everywhere- you can jump, play dodgeball, basketball- on and on. It was the best day with our friends the Lees and the Hardees!

Ethan teaching Cullen how to play baseball

learning to swim

 3 weeks of swim and he is doing really good. He has moved up to the next class and he finally went down the slide. It took alot of convincing him but once he did he went down 100 more times.


sharing Jesus

I asked Ethan not long ago since he played baseball with a lot of boys, if he knew if anyone was a Christain. He said no. I went on to tell him that was a great way to witness. To be a good role model for his friends and to talk to them about Jesus. He listened to me but did not say much.  A few days went by and he had his best friend Justin spend the night. The next morning we dropped him off and Ethan said, "Mom I asked Justin if he knew Jesus, and he said no. So I told him about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and how to get baptized. I told him to go tell his mom."

I started to cry. My 7 year old had just witnessed to someone. How great is that. How awesome.
I am so proud of him! Words can not even describe.


God is so good.

that sweet face

 i love this sweet face. every now and then he will get my phone and take pictures of himself. Lately, he has been saying some of the funniest and sweetest things.  The other day I was in the kitchen cleaning and he walked up to me and rubbed my back and said, "Mommy you so beautiful."

Cullen "Mommy I want some ice cream, my beautiful!"

Now he is calling me "my beautiful or my darling." I love it!

Ava and Ethan went to Science Camp in Zebulon and had the best time. Their teacher was friends with Aunt Jill. They made a tornado, learned about owl pellets, animals and plants. It was a great week!

8 years old

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN WALLACE! I just can't believe how fast time is going. When we moved to Clayton Ethan was 2.  My sweet Ethan Wallace.  His heart is full of kindness and he loves Baseball. I am so proud of him. We had a family birthday party first, he had a great time and very surprised when Aunt Rosemary got him his penguin he had no idea he was getting! Then all the boys arrived!  Cullen McGee, Nick Macintosh, Justin Radcliff, Jonah Kalick, Cole Oliver, Luke and Mason Taylor. All the boys were on Ethan's baseball team except Luke and Mason are our homeschool friends. They played woofer ball and had the best time at the sleepover. Happy Birthday my love-
